Study Abroad in Asia

CU-Boulder students with an interest in Asia are strongly encouraged to spend a semester or a year abroad to obtain a different perspective on the Asian world. Studying abroad not only enables students to earn credits for their major, core, and/or electives, but to enhance their Asian language proficiencies and gain a deeper understanding of Asian cultures. 

The  offers over 70 programs in 15 countries throughout East, South, Southeast, and West Asia, as well as several Global Seminars taught and directed by CU faculty. Students may spend from a few weeks to a full academic year abroad, depending on the program selected. Language study can be a prerequisite for participation in some of the programs, so early planning for study abroad is essential.
